Diamonds may be the hardest substance known to man, but they
too can be damaged or dulled. Your diamond jewelry will benefit
from the following tips:
Don't jumble your diamond jewelry together or with other
pieces because diamonds can scratch other jewelry and each
other.
Keep your diamond jewelry in a fabric-lined jewel case
or in a box with compartments or dividers.
Don't wear your diamonds when doing rough work. Even though
a diamond is durable, it can be chipped by a hard blow.
Clean your diamonds regularly using either commercial jewelry
cleaner, a mix of ammonia and water, or a mild detergent.
Dip the jewelry into the solution and use a soft brush to
dislodge dust or dirt from under the setting.
Don't let your diamond come in contact with chlorine bleach
or other chemicals because they can pit or discolor the
mounting.
See your jeweler at least once a year to have your diamond
jewelry professionally cleaned and checked for loose prongs
and wear.
